In Short
The setting is modest, with two dimly-lighted dining rooms and a tiny bar, but don't be fooled--this is some of the best Japanese food in the city. Winning appetizers include delicate pot stickers and paper-thin slices of grilled beef tongue. Bento boxes are large, with a standard portion of chicken or beef teriyaki and a selection of pleasant tempura shrimp and vegetables. Sushi highlights include rolls like the katsumaki roll (tuna, yellowtail, avocado, cucumber and crab) and the Philadelphia roll (smoked salmon, asparagus, lettuce and cream cheese).
